US President Trump announced on the 6th that, starting November 1, the United States will impose a 25% tariff on imported medium and heavy-duty trucks.
Trump posted on social media that day: "Starting from November 1, 2025, all medium and heavy-duty trucks entering the US from other countries will be subject to a 25% tariff."
In any case, Trump did not provide further details.
On September 25, Trump previously stated on social media, citing "national security," that the US would impose a 25% tariff on imported heavy-duty trucks starting October 1. After the announcement, major US automobile manufacturers expressed opposition out of concern for supply chain disruptions and rising costs. The timetable was forced to be postponed.
According to data from the US Department of Commerce, the US imported about 245,000 medium and heavy-duty trucks last year, with a trade value exceeding $20 billion (approximately 84.297 billion ringgit).
